Cookie DAO 🍪 (@cookiedotfun): New X rules related to disclosing paid deals stirred the creator community yesterday.

New X rules related to disclosing paid deals stirred the creator community yesterday. We’ve asked Cookie AI Search in Cookie Pro to identify who’s talking most about the policy change and what the sentiment is. The most important takeaways for creators: → This is new on X but is already standard on many other platforms (and is the law in the EU). → It’s an opportunity to choose only great brands to work with and focus on long-term partnerships. → IMPORTANT! Posting to receive airdrops or Discord roles must still be disclosed. → If you’re an ambassador to a project, updates and ambassadorship-related posts don’t need to be separately disclosed (if your affiliation is already clear), but any additional promotion must be disclosed. → Promotion with CTAs to buy tokens, deposit, stake, etc., is forbidden. → Now is the time to build your real presence and reputation as a creator, so brands want to forge public partnerships with you. → Launching your own community that gets special access to your referral links and brand partnership benefits can be a good idea to stay attractive to brands, both as an attention and conversion layer. --- This is definitely another major change X has been introducing to its creator economy in 2026. It’s too early to see the impact, but we’ll keep monitoring and reporting on the stats using our own data layer, so you always get the full picture.
